    I was a foster parent at Hope & Home for 5 years. My husband and I also served as foster parent…read morementors the last 2 years of our time there. At the end of 2019, we reached out to Hope & Home to share our mounting concerns with management and stepped down from leadership. A month later, we closed our foster care license upon learning that several former female employees had allegations of misconduct and/or sexual harassment against the Executive Director, Ross Wright. Concerns we shared with H&H: - High staff turnover - Home Supervisors are ill-equipped to support difficult behaviors/cases - The agency's focus is on growth over quality. My husband and I mentored a family who left H&H. Ross Wright explained in a staff meeting the parents were "rigid" and "unteachable." I saw them as an overwhelmed new foster family with 3-4 foster placements (one of whom was a rebellious teen) in addition to their 2 young boys. Mr. Wright did not want to discuss what could have been done to better support this family. - Hope & Home Vs. "Other" culture (i.e. DHS, the State, other Child Placement Agencies) - Questionable business practices (H&H being removed from Glassdoor, Better Business Bureau, no financial transparency). I have since spoken with more than 10 former Hope & Home employees and 2 foster parents who directly experienced misconduct and/or sexual harassment. Details on this can be found by reading an article written by The Gazette and searching Hope and Home We See You. Hope & Home has the fanciest building and several structured supports for families. I've found that other Child Placement Agencies put their efforts towards more flexible strengths: monetary reimbursement to foster families for specific needs, experienced staff better equipped to assist with difficult behaviors and complicated cases, knowledge and willingness to reach outside the agency for creative solutions to problems, and a stronger relationship between staff and foster families. No agency is perfect: look for the agency that feels like the best fit for you and know that you can always switch (even if you have foster children in your home). Foster care, the various systems, and people are broken, messy, and complicated. This agency has many caring staff and great foster families. I sincerely hope for the resignation of Executive Director (Ross Wright) and Deputy Director (Jacque Thurman-Wright) for significant, positive change.

    We've been with Hope & Home as foster parents in the Denver area for just over three years. During…read morethat time we have been supported, cared for and trained to be the best foster parents we can be by our agency. We've loved three little boys and their families, and joyfully watched as they have been reunited. Foster care is not for the faint of heart {I'm still surprised we lasted that first month}, but it is a incredible ministry opportunity, and Hope & Home is the best at helping foster parents succeed.
